After several attempts--they close rather early--I finally ordered their birria and a chavindeca. The birria wasn&#39;t nearly as good as Apatzingan, nor was the chavindeca. The birria wasn&#39;t bad, just very dull. I didn&#39;t even write about Rosamaria&#39;s because I don&#39;t find it to be a destination.<br /><br />I&#39;m ultimately interested in the BEST Mexican.

What about it? That is the ORIGINAL PLACE,they had gotten all the menu they have right now in their place. &#39;The chef Martin&#39; comes from there too. Birrieria Rosamaria has been there for so many years, and the Birrieria your talking about is not the only one who got the Birrieria Rosemaria&#39;s menu,some another employees, who used to work there,open their own place whit the same menu around Pacoima.#copiaspiratas.

Definitely will try this place out.<br /><br />Also interesting to hear the banter regarding the degradation of (some elements of) Mexican cooking because of the passing of generations. I hope Korean food doesn&#39;t suffer that fate in L.A.

I&#39;ve yet to have carnitas in the US like I&#39;ve had in Morelia,Uruapan, or Mexico City.Even Tijuana has some pretty good stuff, like Carnitas Quiroga.<br /><br />Hermano, bad restaurants are packed all over East Los Angeles with Paisanos eating Hollenbecks,King Tacos, etc. <br /><br />3rd generation Mexican food isn&#39;t the same.But, always willing to try. What is your top carnitas restaurant in the OC? I&#39;m up for the OC challenge.

And, like I also said, there are other Michoacán-style restaurants, but I wouldn&#39;t recommend them as they&#39;re not really good. But, combining those with the carnitas place, there&#39;s at least a dozen in Santa Ana alone, and that&#39;s much more representation than for, say, Zacatecas...Gustavo Arellanohttp://www.ocweekly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691661959819164456.post-19045277484010083562010-04-15T17:39:34.108-07:002010-04-15T17:39:34.108-07:00Gustavo Arellano-Yeah, I think I&#39;d seen the Br...Gustavo Arellano-Yeah, I think I&#39;d seen the Brisas de Apatzingan piece before and I know Dave recently reminded me of the place. In LA there really isn&#39;t much, I wouldn&#39;t count the carnitas places, none of which follow tradition. Best ones around are Cinco Puntos, they use the copper pots, and Metro Balderas, DF style. <br /><br />Well, a trip down to the OC is in order to check these out.So, you have TWO places, doesn&#39;t quick represent the massive amounts of michoacanos, though.

Santa Ana is the epicenter of the region&#39;s expats, and thus has more than a few. I reviewed Las Brisas de Aptazingan (where they make the huchepos daily) <a href="http://www.ocweekly.com/2008-02-07/food/pozole-paradise" rel="nofollow">a couple of years back</a> and even reviewed it again for Good Food. And El Chile Picante <a href="http://www.ocweekly.com/2009-04-02/food/hole-in-the-wall" rel="nofollow">has chavilecas as well as those folded-up enchiladas</a>. There are a couple of other places I wouldn&#39;t recommend, and—of course—carnitas places dot the land like donut shops.Gustavo Arellanohttp://www.ocweekly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691661959819164456.post-2336524810880567682010-04-14T17:45:53.880-07:002010-04-14T17:45:53.880-07:00Hey Angel, thanks, and it&#39;s great to hear from...Hey Angel, thanks, and it&#39;s great to hear from someone who has prior knowledge of these bites.<br /><br />Exilekiss-This has you written all over it.streetgourmetlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625967020667522977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691661959819164456.post-68624237468539831412010-04-13T16:28:03.686-07:002010-04-13T16:28:03.686-07:00Hi Street Gourmet LA,
